These areas form key strategic priorities within Bishop Grosseteste University Strategic Plan 2014-19 which has recently been re-approved by the University’s Council. This ambitious strategy focuses on enhancing academic credibility through developments that supplement and complement the University’s already outstanding reputation for its student experience.

The post-holder will be enterprising, innovative and enthusiastic. He or she will lead by example, and in line with the University’s values, to provide inspirational leadership that influences staff and external stakeholders and results in dramatic improvements in the quantity, quality and impact of the University’s teaching, learning and student engagement.
Successful candidates must have a doctorate in a subject area compatible with those offered by the University and a strong record of successful leadership of research and scholarship activity. Professorial title is available to candidates who meet the University’s criteria.
